Problems with Flying Barcelona Attack (Claw)

Classic Fighting Games Ultra Street Fighter IV
1

Hello everyone.

This is my first topic here in SRK, but I visit here frequently since may 2009.

I am a Sagat player and since Vega is not a very popular character, when I play against him becomes a difficult task to win, especially because his Flying Barcelona Attack.

I dont know what to do againt FBA. If a Focus, I got Izuna Dropped. If I early jump with HP, I got Izuna Dropped or attacked. I can’t just walk away because Sagat is very slow.

What must I do?

Thank you very much. Sorry for my bad english.

nJ.HP / j.MP , beats everything.

also throw out a random TU sometimes , that also works

close standing strong works well in the corner, middle of the screen is a bit more tricky.

recently started using neutral jump strong which seems to be pretty buff. never used it in the corner but I could see it not working in the corner.

neutral jump fierce has worked a few times for me but seems to be the move that fails the most out of the new things ive been trying out.

jump back fierce has been and always will be a buff answer.

It seems there are ways around all of these so switch up which one you do. confuse the vega player and get dat damage.

YAEOOOOOOOH. What I do is if Vega does barcelona, I crouch mash the corners (from 6 to 9 to 6 to 9) then when he comes near me I delay as much as possible and TU with jab. Needs good timing, but best solution imo. Like you said, the others you can get hit/izuna dropped.

I get angry scar when doing from 6 to 9 sometimes in super so I stopped doing that for auto DP after vanilla…
I miss auto DP

Ok. I will try do it.

I play against a friend who plays with Claw and even I seeing he is not better than me, he just use FBA over and over and kills my Sagat (my main). If I pick another character (honda, for example) I rape him. But not my Sagat.

Damn I forgot about this. Screw AS input.

if they are going for the grab, i think you can crouch and they won’t be able to grab you. Jumping makes it easier for them to grab you… Of course if you’re crouching, the claw swipe will come out instead. After getting one or two FBA you should be TUing it.
